What is an ICR?

An Information Collection Request (ICR) is a federal agency's request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from the public. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), agencies must justify why the information is needed and how it will be used.

When are they submitted?

Federal agencies are required to submit an ICR whenever they create, renew, modify an information collection. Each ICR includes a description of the collection, supporting materials and documentation (such as forms, surveys, or scripts), and proof that the agency has met the requirements of the PRA.

The ICR is submitted to the The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within OMB for review and approval. OIRA grants approval for a maximum of three years, after which the collection must be renewed through a new ICR submission.

Where to find an ICR

ICRs are publicly available on RegInfo.gov, and additional guidance can be found in the FAQs.

Note: Presidential Action influences are notated for ICRs received between January 20, 2025 and September 22, 2026.

NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper, and Other Non-Ferrous Foundries (40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZZZ) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non-ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ) were proposed on February 9, 2009; promulgated on June 25, 2009; and revised on September 10, 2009. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities conducting melting operations located at an aluminum, copper, or other non-ferrous foundry that is an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions, melts 600 tons per year (tpy) of aluminum, copper, or other non-ferrous metal or greater, and uses material that either contains or has the potential to emit HAP for which the source category was listed. New facilities include those that commenced construction, or modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Five-Year Records Retention Requirement for Export Transactions and Boycott Actions

Key Information

Abstract

The five year records retention requirement enables BIS to detect violations from records up to five years old to correspond with the five year statue of limitations and prove that a violation did or did not take place. All parties involved in the export, reexport, transshipment or diversion of items subject to the EAR and the U.S. party involved in the export transaction involving a reportable boycott request are required to maintain records of these activities for a period of five years. The frequency depends upon how often each entity is involved in an export transaction or one involving a reportable boycott request. This five-year retention period for export documents to be retained corresponds with the five year statute of limitations for criminal actions brought under the ECRA predecessor acts (18 U.S.C. 3282) and the five year statute for administrative compliance proceedings (28 U.S.C. 2462).

Farm Self-Employment Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

SSA collects the information on Form SSA-7156 on a voluntary, as needed basis to determine the existence of an agriculture trade or business which may affect the insured status or monthly benefit of a retirement applicant. When an applicant indicates self-employment as a farmer, SSA uses the SSA 7156 to determine the existence of an agricultural trade or business, and to calculate subsequent covered earnings for Social Security entitlement purposes the applicant is claiming. As part of the application process, we conduct a personal interview with the applicant, either face-to-face or via telephone, and document the interview using Form SSA-7156. Alternately, applicants have the option of using our Upload Documents portal (OMB No. 0960-0830), which allows them to complete and submit the form online in lieu of an interview. The respondents are applicants for Social Security benefits whose entitlement and amount of benefits depend on establishing if the worker received covered earnings from self employment as a farmer, and if so how much they earned.

Regulation 14A (Commission Rules 14a-1 through 14a-21 and Schedule 14A)

Key Information

Abstract

Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) gives the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) authority to prescribe rules and regulations, as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors, with respect to the solicitation of proxies. Section 14(a) is intended to help ensure that shareholders have sufficient information upon which to make their voting decisions or decisions to authorize a proxy. The Commission promulgated Regulation 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-1 through 14a-21) and Schedule 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-101) to regulate the solicitation of proxies or consents. Those rules and schedule set forth the requirements for the dissemination, content, and filing of proxy or consent solicitation materials in connection with annual or other meetings of holders of a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Persons soliciting proxies with respect to a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act must furnish a proxy statement containing the information required by Schedule 14A. The proxy statement is intended to provide security holders with the information necessary to enable them to vote in an informed manner on matters intended to be acted upon act security holders meetings.

Request for Social Security Earnings Information

Key Information

Abstract

The Act permits wage earners, or their authorized representatives, to request Social Security earnings information from SSA using Form SSA-7050-F4. SSA uses the information the respondent provides on Form SSA-7050-F4 to verify the wage earner has: (1) earnings; (2) the right to access the correct Social Security Record; and (3) the right to request the earnings statement. If we verify all three items, SSA produces an Itemized Statement of Earnings (Form SSA-1826), which can be certified or non-certified, and includes the names and addresses of employers and the earnings associated with each employer, or a Certified Yearly Totals of Earnings, which only includes the total earnings for each year but does not include the names and addresses of employers, and sends it to the requestor. If we cannot verify the items, we will inform the respondent we cannot provide them with the requested Statement of Earnings due to this mismatch. The agency charges respondents for sending them an Itemized Statement of Earnings, or for a Certified Yearly Totals of Earnings. Respondents are wage earners and their authorized representatives who are requesting Itemized Statement of Earnings records or Certified Yearly Totals of Earnings.

Incarcerated People's Communications Services (IPCS) 2026 Mandatory Data Collection, WC Docket Nos. 23-62, 12-375, FCC 25-75

Key Information

Abstract

On November 6, 2025, the Commission released the 2025 IPCS Order (FCC 25-75) in which it established a regulatory framework that is faithful to the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act of 2022 and is also consistent with the record that has developed since its enactment. The Order created a durable, predictable, and lawful framework that properly balances the Commission’s implementation of the dual statutory mandates of the Martha Wright-Reed Act—just and reasonable rates for consumers and fair compensation for providers—and thereby ensures the continued availability of IPCS to incarcerated people and preserves correctional officials’ ability to provide safe and secure access to IPCS. In the 2025 IPCS Order, to ensure that it has the data needed to discharge its responsibilities under the Act, the Commission reaffirmed its prior delegation of authority to the Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB) and the Office of Economics and Analytics (OEA) to conduct an additional data collection to enable the Commission to set permanent rate caps for both audio and video IPCS. Pursuant to that delegation of authority, WCB and OEA released an Order detailing the specific requirements for the 2026 Mandatory Data Collection. The information collection will collect detailed, industry-wide data from all IPCS providers.

The federal credit union must obtain and have on file financial documentation demonstrating that the guarantor has the resources to meet the guarantee. If a manufacturer is involved, the federal credit union must review financial statements for the period that would establish a reasonable financial trend. If an insurance company is involved, it must have a major company rating of at least a B+. The federal credit union will use the information as part of the risk assessment process to analyze and evaluate the financial capabilities and resources of a party that guarantees the residual value used in a leasing arrangement.

Key Information

Abstract

FCC Form 601 is a consolidated, multi-part application form that is used for market-based and site-based licensing for wireless telecommunications services, including public safety, which are filed through the Commission’s Universal Licensing System (ULS) or any other electronic filing interface the Commission develops. FCC Form 601 is composed of a main form that contains administrative information and a series of schedules used for filing technical and other information. This form is used to apply for a new license, to amend or withdraw a pending application, to modify or renew an existing license, cancel a license, submit required notifications, request an extension of time to satisfy construction requirements, request an administrative update to an existing license (such as mailing address change), or request a Special Temporary Authority License. Respondents are required to submit FCC Form 601 electronically including when applying for an authorization for which the applicant was the winning bidder in a spectrum auction. On February 18, 2026, the Commission adopted a Report and Order, FCC 26-9, in WT Docket 24-99, modified by an erratum released March 25, 2026, that established rules for the entire ten megahertz of the 896–901/935–940 MHz (900 MHz) band to be used for paired five megahertz broadband service. The Report and Order modified the requirements in sections 27.1503(b) and (c) and 27.1505(b) through (d) to reflect the option for paired five megahertz broadband service, in addition to the existing paired three megahertz option.

When a claimant dies before we make a determination on that person’s request for reconsideration of a disability cessation, SSA seeks a qualified substitute party who may choose to pursue the appeal. If SSA locates a qualified substitute party, the agency uses Form SSA–770–U4 to collect information about whether to pursue or withdraw the reconsideration request. We use this information as the basis for the decision to continue or discontinue with the appeals process. Respondents are individuals with a relationship to the deceased or the deceased’s estate who may be made a substitute party and proceed with or withdraw the reconsideration request.

Reverse Mortgage Products

Key Information

Abstract

On December 16, 2009, the OCC, FDIC, FRB and NCUA sought comment on the guidance, and they issued it in final form on August 17, 2010. The guidance focused on the need to provide adequate information to consumers about reverse mortgage products; to provide qualified independent counseling to consumers considering these products; and to avoid potential conflicts of interest. It also addressed related policies, procedures, internal controls, and third party risk management. Prior to the effective date of the final guidance, the Agencies obtained PRA approval from OMB for the information collection requirements contained therein. These information collection requirements included implementation of policies and procedures, training, and program maintenance. The requirements are outlined below: • Institutions offering reverse mortgages should have written policies and procedures that prohibit the practice of directing a consumer to a particular counseling agency or contacting a counselor on the consumer's behalf. • Policies should be clear so that originators do not have an inappropriate incentive to sell other products that appear linked to the granting of a mortgage. • Legal and compliance reviews should include oversight of compensation programs so that lending personnel are not improperly encouraged to direct consumers to particular products. • Training should be designed so that relevant lending personnel are able to convey information to consumers about product terms and risks in a timely, accurate, and balanced manner.

Management of Authorization for Government Users, Institutions, and Customers (MAGIC)

Key Information

Abstract

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is creating a new public credentialing and authorization process, hereafter called Management of Authorization for Government Users, Institutions, and Customers (MAGIC), that provides secure access to SSA’s electronic services for the Business Services Online (BSO) and Government Services Online (GSO) users. MAGIC is a self-service authorization framework. Each entity will designate a Responsible Entity Officer (REO) who is authorized to execute agreements on behalf of the entity that are legally binding and enforceable. The REO should have authority to access any information available to the entity through any Social Security service; authorize the disclosure of that information when appropriate; and delegate other individuals to have access to it. Each designated REO will create a MAGIC account and self-attest, acknowledging responsibility for all business conducted in MAGIC, BSO, and GSO on behalf of their organization. As a convenience, our framework includes additional administrative roles that the REO can delegate, authorizing another individual to manage the organization’s MAGIC account. The REO and additional administrative roles have a higher level of safeguarding and security. The REO and/or additional administrative roles will delegate service roles authorizing other users to conduct specific BSO/GSO business during a specified timeframe on the organization’s behalf, which includes third-party organizations. Both the REO and Administrator can revoke service roles as well. Every user (i.e., REO, Administrator, or Service User) will use their own credential to access MAGIC and BSO/GSO. In addition, MAGIC will offer organizational REOs the option of technician assistance for unlocking and blocking user accounts within their organization, or for terminating the REO account. In this way, MAGIC will give more flexibility to organizations and businesses who do business with SSA through the BSO and GSO portals. MAGIC will offer organizations accessibility to SSA’s online services, ensuring our online services are both secure and user-friendly which both an agency priority and is vital to good public service. Respondents are individuals registering and authorizing users for access to BSO and GSO.

Key Information

Abstract

When SSA needs to confirm a worker’s employment status to ensure the accuracy of a worker’s earning records, the agency uses Form SSA–7160, Employment Relationship Questionnaire, to determine the existence of an employer-employee relationship. We use the information this form collects to determine whether a beneficiary is self-employed, or if the beneficiary is an employee. The respondents are individuals seeking to establish their status as employees, as well as households, businesses, and state or local governments seeking to establish their status as alleged employers.

Designation of Low Income Status, 12 CFR 701.34(a)

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Credit Union Act (12 U.S.C. 1752(5)) authorizes the NCUA Board to define low-income members so that credit unions with a membership serving predominantly low-income members can benefit from certain statutory relief and receive assistance from the Community Development Revolving Loan Fund (CDRLF). Under the authority of 12 CFR §701.34(a), NCUA must obtain certain data to determine if a credit union qualifies for the designation. NCUA uses the information from credit unions to determine whether they meet the criteria for the low-income designation.

Revision of a currently approved collection
Missing and Discrepant Wage Reports Letter and Questionnaire

Key Information

Abstract

Each year employers report the wage amounts they paid their employees to IRS for tax purposes, and separately to SSA for retirement and disability coverage purposes. Employers are required to report the same figures to SSA and the IRS. However, each year some of the employer wage reports SSA receives are different than the amounts the same employers report to the IRS. SSA uses Forms SSA–L93–SM, SSA–L94–SM, SSA–95–SM, and SSA–97–SM to work with employers to resolve the discrepancy and, ultimately, to ensure employees receive full credit for their wages. This information collection tool also includes the online IRS/SSA Reconciliation portal, which is a streamlined version of the SSA–95–SM and the SSA–97–SM. The IRS/SSA Reconciliation portal will guide employers to the appropriate solutions and will link the users to on-line tools to correct issues. The respondents are employers who reported different wage amounts to SSA than they reported to the IRS.
